Don't know if it could be related but, on a recent interview about 2.4 and Thargoids :

Braben is particularly intrigued by planets with significant quantities of methane and ammonia. He believes life could thrive there, thanks to the warming effect CO2.
“I’ve always been fascinated by carbon-ammonia chemistry because I think it should be just as possible to have life where you’ve got a temperature band that is roughly about 100 centigrade cooler. Between 70 and 100,” Braben told Newsweek.
“There are a lot of interesting things to look at with a planet that has methane or ammonia chemistry. It’s quite possible to heat that up using CO2. It’s very hard to go the other way. So trying to see how different lifeforms might conflict in the future is fascinating.

What I think:

[TINFOIL]
- barnacles are resource harvesters for the Thargoid
- flower ships gather the good stuff
- good stuff is used in alien bases to breed, grow and care for the new flower ships et al.
- UAs and/or UPs are an intermediate form of the flower ships

Folks, is it normal now that barnacles are found far outside the nebulas? Just stumbled upon one on Pleiades Sector IX-S B4-4 B 1. That's 80 ly from the Pleiades Nebula and only 25 ly from HIP 22460...

Neat. [up]

I went there and I have no idea how you guys find these things.. I knew where to look from your image and still didn't see it until I was VERY close..
It was just a little tiny white dot, and also no Point of Interest or anything...?

Do you have max or low graphical settings when searching for things? (I read low settings makes it easier to find stuff?)

Anyway, as I've read "how to attract" Thargoids(?) to barnacles I was promptly visited by one within 30 seconds to about a minute after trying it..
I don't know where I read it but basically you land, faff about and see if any ship arrives.. If not, dismiss ship, and try to recall it.
Says you need to get out of "the settlement" limits, which you do.
Then when the ship is back and landed, go to it to get out of the "settlement" area, and then head back towards the barnacle..

And like 30 seconds later I got it :)

Got a video from it here, thought it went fairly OK this time, compared to my other tries. (Camera "signal lost" and stuff...)

Not convinced UAs and UPs are related to the Thargoids. They are more likely alien tech repurposed by shadowy human groups to detect Thargoid related activity. The recent Galnet article on the Thargoid return hinted that the UAs / UPs may not be of Thargoid design, despite their evident non-human technology:

"In its story, the Federal Times also posited that the barnacles may be of Thargoid origin, given their relationship with the Thargoid ships, but stopped short of suggesting a link between the Thargoids and the Unknown Probes and Artefacts, which many also believe to be non human objects."

(Unless, of course, we have yet to make the link. TIme will tell, no doubt.)

Anyway, I have been trying to do my bit for Canonn research and have been scouting out possible systems / planets for potential alien base sites, including planet 2B in HIP 17044. If anyone else has any other suggestions where we should be looking, I am happy to be advised.

Too bad we can't land on atmospheric planets, I was just in a system yesterday that contained a high metal content world with a nitrogen, ammonia, and methane atmosphere. If I remember right the temp was just under 200 kelvin. I did fly around to the dark side of it to see if there were any city lights shining, but nothing. With the Thargoids supposedly insectoid they may live in large windowless hives or underground, so I flagged it so I can go back and check it out should we ever actually get the ability to land on atmospheric planets.

Just checked and I remembered the temp wrong. It's temp is listed as 458K yet it's an icy body comprised of 99% ice. What kind of ice exists at that temp?

I have everything maxed save for supersampling, plus Reshade with Crossprocess shader port (that blueish tint to everything). Barnacles are glowing bright yellow/green pixels from afar.

Getting the event in another system than OI-T is new, right? I see you got it in IX-S - is that correct? I see a brown dwarf in your video - so this should maybe be front page news ;)

Awesome.

There are now 3 known barnacles in that system. After last night , located the other two. A6 may be of interest to many , as it has Arsenic . Double Barnacle with 4 MA.
Pleiades Sector IX-S B4-4 A 612.301671.5827

other 2 on B1.

1 MA on this one
Pleiades Sector IX-S B4-4 B 1-40.463525.8099


Double Barnacle with 4MA

Pleiades Sector IX-S B4-4 B 1-23.918188.1463



Cmdr Zorbaq located the first on B1, located one at A6 later that night, found a 2nd on B1 later after checking the first.

I noted that none of these barnacles had the transaction data package from the barnacles. Recieved nav targets, scanned message etc.

That had only happened in one system before. Pleiades OI-T C3-7 all barnacles there didnt have that data, all barnacles there are always ripe all cycles

IX-S B4-4 Has no transaction data, all 3 found so far are ripe. Presuming that all others in system may well be ripe, all cycles.
Was thinking it then was highly likely that the Barnacle Thargoid Encounter was possible here, although it had only happened in OI-T before.

You have the first confirmation of the encounter in another system, and specifically this system. Highly interesting.

OK thanks. I'm running on everything at max too. I guess I just have to look harder then.. :eek:

What? I do? I thought that you (or maybe someone else) wrote some pages ago that you had confirmed encounters on like every barnacle site. . I guess I misread! :D

Yes, it is Pleiades Sector IX-S B4-4 planet B 1 (-40.46, 25.81) :)

Galactic Leaders Address Thargoid Discovery

The leaders of the galaxy's major powers have responded to news that the mysterious ships seen in the Maia system and Pleiades Nebula are Thargoid vessels.

Federal President Zachary Hudson released a characteristically forthright statement.

“Earlier this year, I said I would rather prepare for an attack that may not come than be met by an attack I did not prepare for. Well, the Federation has not been idle. For months, we have been expanding our Navy in preparation for just such a day. Some, such as Edmund Mahon, believe this is unnecessary. But perhaps Mr Mahon has not read the reports of Federal ships being attacked by Thargoid vessels. If the Thargoids want a fight, it’s a fight they’ll get.”

Addressing the media from the Imperial Palace on Capitol, Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval said:

“The facts are these: the Thargoids have highly sophisticated starships, they have a relationship with the organic constructs, and they have the means to remotely disable human spacecraft. In some quarters, these facts have given rise to concern. But I urge you not to panic. The human race has surmounted countless challenges in the past, and created a civilisation that spans hundreds of star systems. Do not be too quick to discount the human race.”

Finally, Alliance Prime Minister Edmund Mahon released the following statement:

“Our next steps must be taken with great care. Despite President Hudson’s claims to the contrary, there is no proof that the Thargoids have attacked Federal vessels. We must not assume the Thargoids are hostile. Theirs is clearly an intelligent and technologically sophisticated race. There is a great deal we could learn from them.”

This is the first time, since the beginning of ED, I'm truly taking one side in "ED Game of Thrones": Mahon.

I want to make one observation on the intercept wreckage though...

On looking at two of the Condor fighters, knowing that FD is meticulous in their model design etc., it seemed odd to me that one of the fighters had the cockpit half 'filled' or covered with what looks more or less like a grey blanket. Looking at one of the others, it appears to be a fulling 'open', normal looking, but empty cockpit. I did not take screenshots at the time, but if I get back to the wreck, I'll edit the post. If you're out there, check them out.

I found this a bit odd. No theory, per say, but one could conjure a few.

I mean, they've got plenty of reason to be hostile depending on what version of the history you believe. Still, they've had lot of chances to blow up CMDRs and haven't taken any of them. The only "Thargoid attacks" there have been so far suspiciously happened when there was no one around to witness them...

If they are intelligent, they should excpect use seeing menace if they are headed our way. And I think ripping ships out of hyperspace is certainly not a friendly act.
We also happen to suspect that they've infiltrated the superpowers one way or another - if so, both the Alliance and the Empire are suspicious...
